This report is based on a combination of Whole Building and Space-based performance metrics that depend on the Reporting Level of each property.
This report includes a mix of Whole Building and Space-based performance metrics that are reported with the GRESB Asset Level Spreadsheet, along with associated meter-level consumption and data quality metrics for added transparency into the data underlying the performance metrics calculations. Users can generate a GRESB Data Audit Report for Energy & Emissions, Water or Waste.

​
About the Report

The Energy & Water Reporting Level should be configured for all properties, and all meters should be assigned to space types prior to generating this report to ensure accurate and complete metrics.
  • Reporting Period: The reporting period is selected prior to generating the report and should align with the GRESB Reporting Year for which the data is analyzed.
  • Properties: This report includes all properties associated with the portfolio that were owned at any time during the selected 12-month reporting period.
  • Meters & Performance Metrics: Each property’s Reporting Level determines how the performance metrics for that property are calculated.
    • Whole Building (Landlord Controlled) → Performance metrics are reported for the Whole Building and driven by landlord consumption and emissions from all in-metric meters.
    • Whole Building (Tenant Controlled) → Performance metrics are reported for the Whole Building and are driven by tenant consumption and emissions from all in-metric meters.

    • Split (Landlord vs. Tenant) → Performance metrics are separately reported for landlord and tenant spaces in a building and driven by consumption from all meters assigned to a space type.

The following performance metrics are included for each report type.
To accurately reflect values reported in the GRESB Asset Spreadsheet, performance metrics for each property are reported exclusively for the Whole Building or Space-based level, but not both.

EXCEL Tabs

The report is organized into multiple tabs that include annual performance metrics for meters and properties, along with a portfolio-level summary. The Portfolio Trends (Annual) tab summarizes reported performance values across the entire portfolio based on the Reporting Level of each property. What you’ll find: Portfolio-level aggregations of Whole Building and Space-based performance metrics
  • Properties with Reporting Level set to Split (Landlord / Tenant) do not contribute towards Whole Building totals.
  • Properties with Reporting Level set to Whole Building do not contribute towards total Space-based totals.
The Property Trends (Annual) tab shows reported performance and data quality trends for each property based on the Reporting Level of each property. What you’ll find:
  • Property-level details
  • Annual performance metrics
  • Annual data quality metrics for each property
    • Data Completeness (%)
    • Number of meters with identified gaps and overlaps.
Why it matters: This view helps identify specific space types with high and low energy use across all properties.
The Meter Trends (Annual) tab presents annual energy use and data quality metrics for every meter in every property across the portfolio. The meters included in this tab are based on the Reporting Level of each property. What you’ll find:
  • Property-level reference details
  • Meter-level details
    • Activation periods, Meter type & subtype, Space assignment, Scope designation, etc.
  • Year-over-year performance trends for each meter
  • Annual data quality metrics for each meter
    • Data Completeness (%)
    • Specific Gaps over 24-month period
    • Specific Overlaps over 24-month period
Why it matters: This tab provides transparency into how property and portfolio-level emissions are calculated from underlying meter data.

Meters Excluded from GRESB

Includes a list of all meters that are excluded from GRESB reporting based on the Reporting Level of each property. Example #1: If a property has Reporting Level set as Split (Landlord vs. Tenant), then all energy or water meters of that property that do not have a space assignment are listed in this tab.
  • Meters that are marked as Excluded from Analysis are also listed to provide users a full understanding of every meter that is not included in GRESB reporting.
